I went on to the Software center to install an emulator and it says "Failed to download package files. Please check your Internet connection." It even says that when I tried to download another form of software from there as well that isn't gaming related. Thanks for the help in advanced.

This may be a stupid question, but have you checked your internet connection?

I had a problem like that, but it turns out I just needed to restart my router.

I just tried that, but it still says the same thing.

open your Software Sources and change the server from "Main" to "Other" then use "find best server"

then in terminal


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

HELL YEAH!!! Worked like a charm! But when I did the update you said to do it had this in it:

W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com (http://extras.ubuntu.com/) oneiric Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

W: Failed to fetch [/http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/Release

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/moonlight-team/pinta/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/moonlight-team/pinta/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Is that normal? If not, I'll just post it in another area to get it resolved.
THANK YOU AGAIN!

The 'moonlight' PPA doesn't have an Oneiric repository, assuming you're running Oneiric 11.10.

Oldos2er's right, there is no repository for Oneiric using the "moonlight" PPA so my recommendation would be to edit your sources file and "comment it out" using # or at least editing the sources by "unchecking" the box beside the source line.

Yeah... and how would I go about doing that? I am new to Ubuntu after all.

in terminal


gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtkunder tab "other software"

scroll until you find monlight-team PPA and uncheck the box next to it. close then


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Are you still getting the BADSIG error from sudo apt-get update ? If so, run these commands one at a time: $
sudo apt-get clean

cd /var/lib/apt

sudo mv lists lists.old

sudo mkdir -p lists/partial

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update
